  • Foster and encourage an active, health and happy workforce
  • Support human-centred design principles in current and future public spaces, streetscapes and neighbourhoods
  • Prioritise investment in community initiatives to improve health, well-being and community connection
  • Support initiatives that create connected communities with key service areas
